Mrs Peacock in the dark room!
Dream Faerie
This is a Faerie from our garden, she came from Cornwall and lives out there with some other Cornish Faerie Folk. I bought her in for a little photoshoot for today brief of "dreamy."
Its a tad over processed, not sure if that is my limitations or the phone. (all my images are taken with a phone)
1910/20's saw the heyday of 'spirit photography', when the Spiritualist movement fed the insatiable hunger of the war bereaved, and unscrupulous photographers made a handsome living producing portraits with ghostly images of a loved one lost in the war hovering in the background.
Knowledge of photography was not widespread at this time and few understood that the 'spirit' could be introduced by a simple double exposure on the same photographic plate.
As a result, many Spiritualists were encouraged to believe that the camera could 'see' what the naked eye could not, a belief which helped legitimise the Cottingley fairy photographs.
